Beam Dynamics Simulation via Parallel and Distributed Computing

In this paper some approaches to beam dynamics simulation via parallel and distributed computing are discussed. This approach is based on two modeling levels. On the first level we find symbolic presentations both for a beam propagator (using the matrix formalism for Lie transformations)and for particle beam description (using a set of model distribution functions). On this level the LEGOtechnology is used. This allows creating special date bases of LEGO-objects. On the second level we generate some distributed simulation flows synchronized with each other. For this purpose the natural parallel and distributed structures of the beam dynamics are used. The matrix formalism presentation for the beam propagator (Lie transformation) permits us to reduce numerical operations to routine matrix algebra operations. This allows us to realize the numerical simulation process on a computer cluster or on a set of computer clusters. A version of the prediction-correction method is used for space-charge-dominated beam dynamics.
